LIfe-long learning
- The eternally important stuff for the Internet: Learn linux with Overthewire Bandits, Linux journey now moved to LabEx & Linux command line Bible, explainshell & tldr pages, networking (DNS, HTTP, TLS, TCP/IP), programming (python, javascript, apis & automation scripts) - all this drawn entirely from stumble onto this note by ni5arga
- Short course on Palestine (link)
- Listen to evolution of caste by Tony Joseph, not himself a researcher but one of the best synthesisers of reserach on complex topics that I have come by…perhaps building up towards a book on evolution of caste runnign up to his earlier ones on early Indians. Also a Manthan Indi talk.
- Ganesh Devy on India as a linguistic civilisation at one of Manthan India talks
- Basics of nat-history & biodiversity of the Western Ghats by NCF (link)
- Martha Nussbaum on creating human capabilities
- Accounting basics for CA Foundation by Saheb Academy: fairly exhaustive playlist covering the fundamentals of accounting
- On Thomas Sowell’s “A Conflict of Visions” that came up via conversations with ASD on this: https://www.conspicuouscognition.com/p/we-are-stuck-with-human-nature-not; intro to his book on this url brings up some alignments with Steven Pinker and some alignments with American (US) conservatism(?)
- Sudipto Mondal’s What’s your ism podcast on TNM (full playlist) among which TS highly recommends as a series for the carefully curarted talks and the nature of the conversations steered by him; particularly Shivasundar’s 2 episodes (first one from 2024 & another one form 2026) that feels literally like reading across and between the lines of Rama Bhima Soma. Highly recommended are the ones with Sitaram Yechury, Kavita Krishnan and to listen to how tone-deaf Sagarika Ghose sounds when she talks of the self-made recalls merit claims of Savarna elite recalls my own merit claims as privilege note
